General Health
Thanks to our handy software, all paperwork can be completed online prior to your appointment. Once checked in at the clinic, your physical therapist will listen to your story and then perform a movement assessment that will help guide your individualized plan of care.
Female Health
Your physical therapist will review your detailed online intake paperwork prior to your appointment. This will allow more time to focus on your story and learn about general pelvic education and how it relates to your symptoms. An external and internal pelvic floor assessment can be very beneficial to provide the best information regarding your current symptoms, but this is always your choice if you want to perform. Then as a team, we will create the best plan of care for your current symptoms.

Male Health
Urinary incontinence is a common side effect after having a prostatectomy; however, men often feel they have to suffer with these symptoms. For some individuals, these symptoms can last a few days and others last weeks or months. Incontinence can be very disruptive to an individual’s quality of life limiting participation in daily and recreational activities out of fear of leaking. Inflammation and irritation to the urethra and pelvic floor from surgery and the catheter are common causes for the onset of urinary leakage. Pelvic PT has several tools that can help these tissues heal and restore full function, regaining full continence and returning to an active, healthy life.
Oncology Rehab
Initially when diagnosed with cancer, the treatment is focused on treating the cancer via surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatment options; however, often the cancer itself and these treatments have multiple side-effects that can severely limit your quality of life.
Pelvic cancers can often cause other symptoms including urinary or fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, pain with penetration, and sexual dysfunction. Combination of oncology rehab and pelvic physical therapy treatment tools can help in managing and treating these symptoms.
Breast Cancers and their treatments can decrease upper body range of motion, strength, cause lymphedema, and affect a women’s body. Our treatments focus on individualized assessments to restore these impairments and improve our patient’s quality of life.
